Hey, great to see Melissa in the flesh, after so many phone calls and emails. Such a great talent!
We've been pushing her into the spotlight a little more now and I learn something from her everytime she speaks!!
I ordered extra copies of my books in October in preparation for the winter shipping slowdown. Thanks for the insights and ideas.
You are so welcome!
So awesome to see Melissa “in person”!! Great to have a face to put to her name. :-) Also - LOVE the shirt!!!
She's a rock star!
A truly amazing video! I’ve always proed myself on knowing what I didn’t know and I knew none of this information. He only confirmed my decision to hire your firm.
I simply cannot imagine doing this on my own. Great video.
:) Thanks Brian. The team is so awesome at this!

Hello Julie 🌎 Thanks.
Hola!
I remember those days of inserting images into my document. Pure torture!
Right?!!! It's when you want to take a hammer to your computer ...
Hey Julie!
Hi Linda!
I used to format my own books, then I got Vellum and now I also have Atticus (Dave Chesson.) Atticus just keeps getting better. It will surpass Vellum soon.
As far as I know, tracing an image doesn't get you out of needing permission to use the image. A traced image still holds the copyright.
I'm excited to check out Atticus. Does it work on a Mac as well as PC. Traced images are still copyright protected 100% but making a different version of an image ... your own version can be ok.
@@BookLaunchers Yep, Atticus works on PC and Mac. There is a browser version and a downloaded version. Somehow, the downloaded version is still attached to Chrome. So it works on any OS. With Atticus, you can customize themes. Photos to start the chapter, I don't know what they're called. The photo for chapter breaks. They can be customized, as with all the fonts you use for chapter headings. It's pretty cool. People have come up with some amazing looks.
That's really cool. I don't know if we would ever tie it into our work at Book Launchers but I would love to offer it as a solution to our clients who are in love with Google Docs because there are so many issues with Google Docs although I understand the benefits as well. Thanks for your overview.
@@BookLaunchers I don't understand how anyone can be in love with Google Docs. No keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste? No thanks. Can't deal!
how about writing mine
We'd be happy to provide some support and assistance. If you’re just getting started with writing, I highly recommend our 7 steps to write a non-fiction book. You can get that at www.booklaunchers.com/7steps and if you’re ready to market a book our Gameplan for selling 1000 books with less than $100 is a great way to start planning your book marketing.

Even better than all the above is my latest book => Self-Publish and Succeed books2read.com/ap/RDOjGr/Julie-Broad - that’s a really great starting point for any non-fiction author to start thinking through what you need to do to write a book that will sell.
6:15 gave me diarrhea. Might sue.
